They are actively involved in operations at the Ionian Sea, usually against armed albanian outlaws as well as in the Aegean against a massive illegal immigrant influx from Turkey (dumped by "slave-traders" on the sea). On the April of 1997, a member of the detachment, Marinos Zapatis, lost his life during a firefight against albanian criminal elements. This documentary is evidently quite old and before the summer of 2004.

[*******black][FONT=Verdana]In the beggining of 2008 Croatia declared it's Ecological and Fisheries Protection Zone in Adriatic. (Zone does not apply to EU members due to pressure from Brussels and due to fact Croatia is a membership candidate.)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[*******black][FONT=Verdana]This declaration has highlighted the need to modernize and improove naval equipment - which is underway.[/FONT][/COLOR]
